Do you have two of those inserts? You need one on each side. I think that's what your asking.

If you are talking about the insert that goes inside the joint, then there should be two of them, one for each side of the joint.

Yes, good luck with the install. Orientate the bend to the rear to clear the diff.

I had tried doing this and it put the bushing side in a bind. Fixed it by having a friend move the mount back. Well, not the mount but welded a piece just behind the existing mount so now it's back an inch or two. No problems clearing anything now.

???????

You should not have had to make a new mount for it to fit.

And it is a track bar, not traction bar. Close in name, but totally different in purpose.

It's probably more due to pushing the axle back a little, but it rubbed the coils, not the diff. I may be able to find a pic to show what I'm talking about. It had rubbed the passenger side coil pretty bad.
